Abstract

"Diagnose and treat bovine diseases in cattle with Rebhun's Diseases of Dairy Cattle, 3rd Edition -- your all-in-one guide to bovine disease management. Organized by body system for quick, convenient reference, this complete resource equips practitioners and students with the knowledge needed to confidently diagnose, treat, and prevent bovine disease. All chapters are updated from the previous edition to reflect the most up-to-date diagnostics and therapeutics, including revised drug usage considerations. An entirely new chapter for this third edition provides easy-to-read, but detailed information on diagnostic laboratory sample submission so that you will know what tests are available and the proper samples to submit. Another entirely new chapter focuses on diseases of the bull.

Abstract

L’idéal de la vache moderne, mix de nature, de culture et de technoscience, est incarné aujourd’hui par la Holstein-Frisonne, race laitière la plus productive, présente dans le monde entier. Objet d’une sélection intensive et d’une circulation accélérée des ressources génétiques, cette « vache globale » cristallise des tensions entre science et capitalisme, théories et pratiques, pays dits développés et pays en développement. Emblématique, elle suscite une réflexion approfondie sur la place des outils de calcul appliqués au vivant et sur les limites biologiques de la globalisation industrielle et marchande.Cet ouvrage livre une enquête sur la boîte noire du vivant dans l’agencement complexe de la sélection. Il retrace l’histoire de l’organisation internationale de l’évaluation génétique bovine et suit ses acteurs à différents niveaux, en Europe, aux États-Unis et dans des pays en développement, notamment en Afrique du Sud. Il s’adresse aux chercheurs et étudiants en sciences du vivant, en sciences humaines et sociales, ainsi qu’aux professionnels du monde de l’élevage et à un large public s’interrogeant sur la place du vivant dans l’agriculture industrialisée et globalisée.

Abstract

Though Greece is traditionally seen as an agrarian society, cattle were essential to Greek communal life, through religious sacrifice and dietary consumption. Cattle were also pivotal in mythology: gods and heroes stole cattle, expected sacrifices of cattle, and punished those who failed to provide them. The Cattle of the Sun ranges over a wealth of sources, both textual and archaeological, to explore why these animals mattered to the Greeks, how they came to be a key element in Greek thought and behavior, and how the Greeks exploited the symbolic value of cattle as a way of structuring social and economic relations. Jeremy McInerney explains that cattle's importance began with domestication and pastoralism: cattle were nurtured, bred, killed, and eaten. Practically useful and symbolically potent, cattle became social capital to be exchanged, offered to the gods, or consumed collectively. This circulation of cattle wealth structured Greek society, since dedication to the gods, sacrifice, and feasting constituted the most basic institutions of Greek life. McInerney shows that cattle contributed to the growth of sanctuaries in the Greek city-states, as well as to changes in the economic practices of the Greeks, from the Iron Age through the classical period, as a monetized, market economy developed from an earlier economy of barter and exchange. Combining a broad theoretical approach with a careful reading of sources, The Cattle of the Sun illustrates the significant position that cattle held in the culture and experiences of the Greeks.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.
